This what I think it was. This morning the temps were back to normal and the car felt normal also. I think between the road and tires being at temps we never get down here, it felt loose compared to what I am used to.

Can't believe I read through 6 pages of this crap.
Just let some air out of the tires and your problem will be solved. it's really not that complicated. I would try 32 PSI. I'll bet it handles MUCH better. Max PSI? You gotta be kidding me! |

Just so you know I never had my car maxed at 51. I just used the wrong words. The shop who services my car added the air. I assumed they knew what they were talking about.

That explains it!
I bought Michelin Pilot Super Sports a couple months ago and now it's gotten real cold with a bit of snow here in Maryland, and ever since my tires would lose so much traction, from a light to stepping on the gas. This was my first summer performance tire and I had no idea it was this bad! Couldn't even drive a couple inches without the tires spinning in light snow. Even my primacy's were good in snow in comparison. Is it normal for summer performance tires to lose traction on roads with salt with somewhat cold weather? |

I take mine off in october and put them back on in april or so. They have a fairly unforgiving operating range. They do well in wet weather (more so when they're newish), but the tread pattern is not blockish enough to grab onto snow covered roads. There is nothing to displace snow. If you look at the tread blocks on your tires, they're rounded off. Winter tires have square blocks with plenty of space in between. In cold temperatures, they get real hard too and you're actually harming them.

We all cant afford to buy seperate tires here in the states for different seasons. No matter what Cheeto Jesus says the economy isn't good to all American's. We have to live in the winter with Prius tires.
